cant take that away

They can say anything they want to sayTry to bring me downBut I will not allowAnyone to succeedHanging clouds over meAnd they can try hard to make me feelThat I don't matter at all But I refuse to falter In what I believeOr lose faith in my dreams
CHORUS:'Cause there's a light in me That shines brightly They can tryBut they can't take that away from meFrom me
They can do anything they want to youlf you let them inBut they won't ever winIf you cling to your prideAnd just push them asideSeeI have learned there's an inner peace I ownSomething in my soulThat they cannot possessSo I won't be afraidAnd darkness will fade
'Cause there's a light in meThat shines brightlyThey can tryBut they can't take that away from me
NoThey can't take thisPrecious lovel'll always have inside meCertainly the Lord will guide meWhere I need to go
They can say anything they want to sayTry to break me downBut 1 won't face the groundI will rise steadilySailing out of their reach
Oh LordThey do try hard to make me feelThat I don't matter at allBut I refuse to falterIn what I believeOr lose faith in my dreams
'Cause there's a light in me that shines brightlyThey can tryBut they can't take that away from meFrom me.,
